The Latest Lighting Trends in 2023

In 2023, lighting is no longer just an afterthought in interior design. Instead, it is considered a crucial element in creating a space that feels inviting and complements the overall aesthetic. With the right lighting, you can bring warmth, atmosphere, and an enhanced sense of style to any room. But what are the latest lighting trends for 2023?

Let’s take a look at some of the most popular design and specification trends for 2023.

Design Trends

The trend towards larger fixtures continues to be popular this year. Designers are using statement pieces to create focal points throughout the space. They add drama and visual interest with grand chandeliers or eye-catching pendant lights. Materials such as glass, brass, bronze and copper are often used to give them a luxurious finish.

See the Silo Atelier 01 by Lambert and Fils for example. Although it has the archetype of a traditional chandelier, it breathes a theatrical drama.

There has been an increase in minimalist designs that feature clean lines and geometric shapes. This keeps things simple yet sophisticated without overwhelming the overall design of the space. They work well in both traditional and contemporary spaces and can easily become a focal point in any room.

Benedict 12 P by Tungstene is a perfect dome lampshade which combines metal and white oak together. It is created in collaboration with Atelier Filz and handcrafted by local artisans.

This light fixture speaks to the organic forms are also back in fashion this year. Think warm curves or intricate patterns made from natural materials like wood or rattan for added texture and interest.

And finally, poetic simplicity at its best – the Laurent Atelier 01 by Lambert and Fils defines playful. A fixture we are sure to win the hearts of many in the year 2023.

Specification Trends

This year we’re seeing a focus on energy efficiency as LED technology continues to improve. It is also becoming more affordable than ever before.

LEDs provide excellent light quality while consuming less energy than traditional halogen light bulbs. This makes them ideal for both residential and commercial settings alike. They also last much longer than other types of bulbs, so you don’t have to worry about frequent replacements.

Like never before, businesses now have the opportunity to leverage lighting in new and innovative ways. With human centric lighting (HCL), lighting designers can create a space that has personalized illumination that actively improves occupants’ wellbeing. It delivers visual comfort alongside energy savings.

A fixture that provides both versatility and flexibility is the SOLISCAPE – 52 by Delta Light. Designed to create human centric environments it is also aesthetically pleasing and a top favorite for our projects.

Lighting designers are using warm colors and eye-catching lights to make the workplace feel more inviting and comfortable. After spending months working from home during the pandemic, navigating a return to office buildings can be tricky for staff. These comfortable vibes may help encourage them back into their offices again.

For lighting trends in 2023 interior designers are exploring darker hues such as brown which helps evoke an inviting atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. This along with the timeless blue color, help to make the return to the workspace more inviting. 

3D Printed Lighting

With boundless possibilities to create distinct hues, patterns and aesthetics, 3D printed lighting is revolutionizing design as we know it. It is the most sustainable choice that brings elegance and environment-friendly concepts to our designs. With such great flexibility, these high-quality luminaires are making waves this year.
